Mature student going to college... financial support?

thelittlestranger

Evening everyone, would be grateful for any advice if possible please!

I'm 22 and starting college on Thursday to do an Access course. I have been unemployed for a couple of months now and been claiming ESA, however, I have not yet had my assessment and have not continued to send in sick notes due to things happening with college.

I live in rented accommodation with my partner who works full time, and brings home £1458.34 a month (before pension contributions, tax, work computer scheme and NI).

Would we be able to get any financial support? I've been looking online and it's all a bit confusing!

Thank you.

Could you clarify whether your partner actually brings home the amount you've said or whether that is actually the gross wage?

Thank you.

How old is your partner and how much is the rent?

Regardless of this, you'll get the single person discount of 25% on your council tax.

My partner is 24, and rent is £575. Currently in the process of applying for the council tax reduction.
